General Hospital predictions suspect Austin (Roger Howarth) could either be AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) back from the dead or a brand-new member of the Q family from an offshoot branch. Surely, there’s a chance that Austin is connected to the Quartermaine family in one way or another on GH. And spoilers promise that Austin will shake things up as we head into summer on the ABC soap opera.

General Hospital Predictions: Austin Interested in Michael Corinthos – AJ Quartermaine Back for Son?

Currently, on GH, Austin’s checking up on Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). First, Austin noticed Michael’s name on the wall at General Hospital. There is a children’s wing named after Michael, and it caught Austin’s eye. Now, it’s clear that Austin has an interest in the ELQ emergency board meeting.

This meeting will determine if Michael will reclaim his position as CEO of the family company. So, not only is Austin interested in ELQ, but he seems to be fixated on Michael. Long-time General Hospital viewers know that Michael is AJ Quartermaine’s biological-son.

So, it would make perfect sense if Austin turns out to be AJ and wants to reconnect with his son Michael. Clearly, AJ was a train wreck back in the day. But he might have his head on straight now.  Seeing as Austin is a doctor, AJ could have gone to medical school at some point since both his parents were physicians.

AJ Turns His Life Around?

AJ had two seven-year gaps on General Hospital that would give him time to attend medical school and become a doctor. After all, he comes from an entire family of doctors. Recall, AJ was presumed dead from 2005-2012. Then, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) killed AJ in 2014. So, it’s entirely possible that AJ got his act together while away from Port Chuck.

Remember, the showrunners pulled a law license out of nowhere for Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) to make him District Attorney. So, they could do the same to make AJ a doctor. Plus, Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) covered for him once before and hid him out of town once when he was presume “dead”.

Surely, she could do it again. Also, this would explain the Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) rumors about Roger Howarth’s new character getting closer to her. Clearly, AJ has a long history with Carly, and they share a son, Michael. So, it all makes sense. However, there is another route that General Hospital could go…

Austin Holt a Long-Lost Q on GH?

General Hospital rumors suspect that Austin may still be a Quartermaine – but in a different way. Recently, Monica named dropped Jimmy Lee Holt (Steve Bond). Veteran GH viewers will recall that Jimmy Lee is the illegitimate son of Edward Quartermaine (John Ingle).

Years ago, Jimmy Lee tried to get his share of the Q fortune and schemed against the family several times. At one point, Jimmy Lee even made the Q’s go bankrupt. Then, they had to live in one of the rooms above Kelly’s Diner.

More importantly, when Jimmy Lee left Port Charles, he moved to Pautuck, New York. Of course, that is where Austin is from, and he says his family has several properties in Pautuck. Also, this lines up perfectly with Austin’s interest in ELQ.

So, Austin might be after his inheritance just like his father was years ago. Recent spoilers confirm that the Q clan will experience major shakeups. No doubt, this could have something to do with Austin, predict General Hospital spoilers. If he’s family, he might have a right to voting shares of stock.

Connection to Different Legacy Family on General Hospital? 

Another possibility for Austin on GH is that he could be someone else entirely, and these may be false leads to throw fans off. Leaks came out about a mobster named Vincent Novak, who may or may not still be coming to General Hospital. However, Austin’s character reportedly has ties to a legacy family.

This means more likely one of the OG fams such as the Hardys, Webbers, or Quartermaines. Recall, Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) recently brought up Elizabeth Webber’s (Rebecca Herbst) father, Jeff Webber (Richard Dean Anderson). So, there’s always a chance he may be related to Liz.

Surely, Roger Howarth would love to work with Becky Herbst again. So, maybe this time they will be family instead of husband and wife. So, we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out on GH. But, no matter who Austin is he’s sure to complicate things for the Q family and many others on the ABC soap opera. But wouldn’t it be fun if he was AJ Quartermaine or one of Edwards’s grandsons?
